Cháteau de Beaulon Pineau des Charentes Rouge 5 Years in Wood NV
Cognac, FranceBuilt in 1480, Cognac producer Chateau de Beaulon, like most in the area, also produce a range of Pineau Des Charentes. The Château was built in 1480, and has passed through the hands of many owners through the years from the original Vinsons family, the de Beaulon family, the Bishops of Bordeaux and various others until Christian Thomas acquired the Chateau in 1965. Few people know of or drink Pineau des Charentes, and fewer still the rouge version (most is bleanc). This rouge is a blend of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot juice added to cognac, and then aged for five years in cask. It remains remarkably fresh, with pressed strawberry, raspberry cordial, dark caramel on a silken, lengthy palate. A rub of warm spices gathers on the finish. This is a lovely drink for after dinner, especially with sharp / aged cheeses. Serve chilled.Tasted: 30 April 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
